The stop block sits in front of the rail basically, but I am confused by your rail holders, mine look different. Anyway, you should be able to push the rail nearly to the edge. The front needs a bit of space for the belt holder.
/edit: Oh, wait. It’s a LR3… Sorry. You can still push it a bit closer, but not enough I guess.
Yes, you can power the board with no steppers or endstop attached. What you cannot ever do is plug or unplug the cables in while the board is powered. That’s a recipe for blowing up stepper drivers or the controller itself.
Yes, you can power the system from 24V and flash firmware or interact with the display.
Board flashed correctly. TFT works fine. I plan to connect all together tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I will be able to do anything with it, because my printer do not want to work correctly and I don’t have tool mount or even housing for board and screen…
However I don’t understand why axes move only through menu and physical button (is it called encoder?) but when I switch to touch screen move commands stay unanswered completely. Do I need to flash TFT35 as well?
LOL, now I checked and I could have done that myself! Thanks, though!
LowRider has hit me with it’s belt holder today! This machine is aggressive! (if the operator has no idea what they’re doing) I had to reprint base for Y belt tensioner
Oh, and now I understand why people like those joggers so much…
Preparing to cut the crown in the plywood as a test, but…
I noticed that sometimes while rolling on the rail machine hits rail blocks. It rolls further after little hit, but why can that be? Why it hits rail blocks?
Is this normal that when I unplug machine Z axis goes down? I understand that stepper is not trying to support it anymore, but does one expect this behavior? Also it goes down only on one side for me…
